‘One in five’ young drivers uninsured

A fifth of young drivers are on the roads without car insurance, a new report from the Motor Insurance Bureau has revealed today. The report finds that around 243,000 young drivers are uninsured. A far greater proportion of young drivers are uninsured compared to the average driver, which is one in 20. Given that young drivers are more inexperienced it makes them far more likely to have an accident so these statistics are very worrying indeed.
